Everything about this is surreal. For one thing, all four of them are on the roof together. And it's a little less surreal, because none of them are wearing a costume, so it's just like their regular meets. Except it's on a rooftop. This rooftop. And there isn't a signal shining into the sky, or Batman popping out of the shadows. There aren't shadows, it's the middle of the day, and they're in civvies even though they got up to this roof with the line guns they'd all kept. And they'd talked to Gordon during the day, in civvies, and on this roof, but never both at once, so it was familiar and yet completely different. Especially since they'll never speak to Gordon again.
There's a noise on the stairs, and they get ready to leave, but when the door opens it's Montoya, who's seen them with Gordon, and who's obviously been crying, and she yells down the stairwell that she doesn't see anybody on the roof. And she leaves them alone with their grief.
